Walls of Jericho - Route 110

Still from Route 110, video: 22:39 on loop, 2016.

Route 110 - footage taken by phone camera on a bus journey from downtown Los Angeles to LAX. The camera response time is too slow to keep up with the passing roadside, cars and landscape beyond, giving the film a rhythmic pulsation of lamp posts, concrete verges, windows and palm trees. Played on a continuous loop. Re-titled 'Walls of Jericho' after the Cabaret Voltaire track of the same name, and start of the journey to find a soundscape for the visual.
